For the most documentation see:DebianDog - Jessie thread
Exceptions:
- Any links to files or repository containing i386 packages (or other non 64 bit packages)
- Any documentation about live-boot v2 (it's not included in this 64 bit version)
(maybe I will include later in next iso, porteus-boot and (official Debian) live-boot v3/4 works OK from what I tested)
- Any documentation about systemd (not included in this 64 bit version, although it can be installed and used, but not properly tested yet)

Other differences compared to 32 bit DebianDog:
- Different applications, some are missing and some added.
- Just one version (Openbox) (instead 2 versions that DebianDog 32 bit provides (JWM and Openbox_xfce), see for specifications below)

Manual frugal install with Save on exit. Apart from a couple of minor issues shown below, all appear to be working well. Nice job.

Wifi b4321 card not detected. I manually installed b43 firmware and wifi is now working.

Launchers for 'Synaptic Package Manager' and 'Setup Timezone' do not execute when clicked from the Menu>System or panel launchers. I edited scripts 'synaptic-startup' and 'timezone-setup', removing gsu or sudo, as the scripts did not run when logged in as the default root. I also edited rox, wbar and tint2 launchers accordingly.

I couldn't get Menu>System>Synaptic Package Manager to work, as I couldn't work out how to edit the 'synaptic-pkexec' script.

The change to the time zone does not appear to be displayed correctly or maintained across reboots. When the timezone-setup is run the changes to the displayed on screen does not appear to be the correct time for the selected region, ie correct current time 13:15 ( UTC - 18:15), changed timezone to reflect GMT-5 time displayed was 4:15. I did several changes to various timezones. The time displayed did not appear to be a correct representation of the actual time. Upon reboot the time displayed reverts back to being UTC (18:15).

Mmm... very strange, I can't reproduce any of these problems.
What if you do in terminal:

Code:

gsu synaptic

or:

Code:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

as root?

For me these commands execute well.

Are you sure you are using a fresh save file or folder?
(the cause could be you are using a save from other DebianDog)

About timezone, I must admit that I'm confused about how it works in Debian.
As dancytron says editing /etc/adjtime might help.
Here's a discussion about it:

My main Linux background doesn't use sudo, so I'm not to sure what is missing, /etc/sudoers exists and looks normal to me.

Ok, thanks, it seems like sudo is broken somehow on your installation.
The reason for using sudo or gsu in some scripts or .desktop launchers is that it works both for root or regular user (if all is well, of course)

I can't explain why this is happening for you.
Can you investigate some things?
- Is there the same problem if you boot without save?
- Can you try reinstall sudo and see if this solves it:

I reinstalled sudo, still have same issues.

Removed 'changes' folder for clean boot, still the same.

I'll do further tests if you require, however I don't want to take up your time on this, so wait and see if others may have issues also.

Edit: This is on Dell D630 Core 2 Duo laptop. I also checked md5sum prior to initial install.

Edit 2: sudo works as expected in my tahrpup installationsLast edited by Terry H on Sat 12 Dec 2015, 18:42; edited 1 time in total

Manual frugal install with Porteus boot, save on exit only in change folder. I put the /live directory from ISO in a directory /live64. How to set up menu.1st file was a little confusing. This is what I ended up with, which seems to work and not conflict with the Debian Dog Jessie 32 bit in /live folder.

I don't think it will be solved easy since we do not have the same hardware. Maybe testing live-boot instead porteus on the same machine is a good idea to see if the sudo problem appears again.
Comparing sudo command executed from Puppy doesn't help much. Puppy folders and files permissions are not set properly for multiuser environment.

We don't have other reports about this strange problem and I think there is no need to investigate further (unless Terry H likes to continue testing and searching for fix).
